Is There Anything I Can Do to Get a Crime Off My Record?

Criminal Defense Lawyer in West Palm Beach

Under certain conditions, and if you meet a set number of criteria, you
can have a conviction of a crime removed from your public criminal record.
At my West Palm Beach criminal defense law firm, The Law Offices of Phillip
T. Ridolfo, Jr., I may be able to have your criminal conviction removed
from your record forever. The courts of Florida have allowed for a procedure
known as "expungement" of a criminal record. The process by
which the expungement or removal begins is with an application for eligibility.
Once a certificate of eligibility is received from the state, then a petition
to expunge a criminal history record can be filed with the proper court
of jurisdiction.

I have successfully handled dozens of expungement petitions in my 25 years
of practice, and can do the same for you. I have the experience and knowledge
necessary to advise you if your record can be expunged, prior to filing
any documents. If you are eligible, my staff and I will personally prepare
your application for certificate of eligibility, your petition for expungement,
and follow through with service to the state and prosecutor and arresting
agency. We will follow up until the expungement is approved and the record
of your arrest or conviction is wiped from the public record.

If your expungement is approved, it allows you to lawfully deny or fail
to acknowledge any arrests or convictions covered by the expungement when
answering questions on an application, unless you are a 1) candidate for
a job with a criminal justice agency, 2) defendant in a criminal prosecution,
3)candidate for admission to the Florida Bar, 4) person seeking a job
with state agencies such as Department of Children and Families, the Department
of Health, or the Department of Education or other similar state entities.

If you wish to find out more about removing an arrest or conviction from
your record, please
call my offices today and schedule a free consultation.
